Abi in Eden

Motherhood comes with a million questions—but one of the biggest for Christian moms is: How do I raise my children to know and love Jesus?

In this episode of Abi in Eden, we’re talking about raising children in faith without turning Christianity into a checklist. We’ll talk about modeling a genuine relationship with Jesus, praying with and for our children, teaching Scripture, creating a home where questions are safe, making faith joyful, and trusting God with the parts of our children’s futures that we can’t control.

You don’t have to be a perfect Christian mom. You get to point your children toward a perfect Savior.

We’ll end with a prayer for Christian mothers, our children, and the next generation.

What if getting older isn’t something we need to fight—but something we can learn to embrace with grace?

In this episode of Abi in Eden, we’re talking about aging as women of God: changing bodies, comparison, beauty standards, confidence, wisdom, new seasons, and the pressure to stay young forever.

God isn’t asking us to preserve who we used to be. He’s inviting us to become the women He’s created us to be.

We’re talking about what it looks like to care about beauty without making beauty our identity, to stop treating birthdays like something to fear, and to recognize the kind of beauty, wisdom, and confidence that can only come with time.

Because you don’t have to stay young forever.

You get to become.

And there is so much beauty in that.

We’ll end with a prayer for embracing every season God has for us. 🤍

In this episode of Abi in Eden, we’re finishing our journey through the Gospel of Mark with chapters 14–16.

We walk through Jesus’ final days on earth—from the Last Supper and His time in Gethsemane, to His betrayal, trial, crucifixion, and ultimately, the empty tomb.

These chapters hold some of the most heartbreaking and beautiful moments in Scripture. We’ll talk about what it means to remain faithful when life feels heavy, how Jesus met suffering with surrender, and why the resurrection changes everything.

Grab your Bible, get comfortable, and let’s sit with the story of Jesus together. 🤍

Because the story didn’t end at the cross. It never does.

🌿 This Week on Abi in Eden

This week, we’re reading Mark 10–13 and sitting with some of Jesus’ most challenging, beautiful, and honest teachings.

We’re talking about following Jesus when it costs us something, becoming more like little children, the pull of money and status, serving instead of being served, and what it means to stay spiritually awake and ready.

So grab your Bible, get cozy, and come sit with me in the garden. 🌿📖

Let’s slow down, talk it out, and see what Jesus has for us in these chapters. 🤍

Today we’re continuing through the Gospel of Mark with chapters 6–9—and there is SO much packed into these chapters.

We’re reading about Jesus being rejected in His hometown, the death of John the Baptist, the feeding of thousands, Jesus walking on water, incredible healings, Peter finally declaring that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Transfiguration.

But underneath all of these huge moments is something incredibly relatable: the disciples are walking closely with Jesus…and they still don’t always get it.

They doubt. They get scared. They misunderstand. They worry about things Jesus has already proven He can handle. And yet Jesus continues teaching them what it actually means to know Him, trust Him, and follow Him.

If you’ve ever found yourself praying, “I believe; help me in my unbelief,” this reading is for you. 🤍

Grab your Bible, get comfortable, and let’s read Mark 6–9 together.

Today on Abi in Eden, we’re reading through Mark chapters 1–5—and Mark wastes absolutely no time showing us who Jesus is.

In these chapters, we watch Jesus call His first disciples, heal the sick, cast out demons, forgive sins, challenge religious expectations, calm a violent storm, restore a man tormented by evil spirits, heal a woman who had been suffering for twelve years, and even raise a little girl from the dead.

Again and again, we see the same truth: nothing is too powerful, too messy, too broken, or too far gone for Jesus.

Whether you’re walking into this episode full of faith, carrying questions, exhausted, hopeful, or simply wanting to spend some time in Scripture, come as you are. Open your Bible, get comfortable, and let’s read Mark 1–5 together. 🌿🤍

Today on Abi in Eden, we’re reading the book of Philemon—a tiny little letter with a BIG message. 🌿🤍

In just one chapter, Paul gives us such a beautiful picture of forgiveness, reconciliation, grace, and what it really looks like when the love of Jesus changes the way we see and treat one another.

It may be one of the shortest books in the Bible, but Philemon has so much to say about second chances, restored relationships, and choosing grace when it would be easier to hold onto the past.

Grab your Bible, get cozy, and come read Philemon with me. 🍎📖✨

Can Christians drink? Get tattoos? Listen to secular music? Celebrate Halloween? Wear makeup?

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Is this a sin?”—you’re not alone.

In this episode of Abi in Eden, we’re talking about one of the most common questions Christians ask: What can and can’t I do as a follower of Jesus? Together, we’ll explore what Scripture clearly says, what it doesn’t, and how to navigate the gray areas with wisdom, grace, and a heart that desires to honor God.

This isn’t an episode about creating a longer list of rules or making you afraid of getting everything wrong. It’s about learning to shift the question from “Can I?” to “Will this bring me closer to Jesus?”

We’ll discuss:

• What the Bible clearly calls sin
• How to navigate gray areas with biblical wisdom
• The difference between God’s commands and personal convictions
• How to avoid both legalism and spiritual complacency
• Practical questions to help you make God-honoring decisions

My prayer is that you’ll leave this episode feeling less burdened by rules and more excited to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Grab your Bible, get cozy, and let’s grow together. 🤍

Protecting Your Peace Isn’t Selfish 🤍

Have you ever felt guilty for saying “no”? Like choosing your own peace somehow made you a bad Christian?

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to protect the peace Jesus gives us. Together we’ll unpack healthy boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, and the difference between loving others well and carrying burdens God never asked you to carry.

Jesus never called us to be available to everyone at the expense of our relationship with Him. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is step back, guard your heart, and trust God with what you can’t control.

If you’ve been exhausted from trying to make everyone happy, this episode is your reminder that protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s biblical.

Grab your coffee, your Bible, and let’s spend some time in the garden together. 🌿🤍

This week on Abi in Eden, we’re slowing down and simply enjoying God’s Word together.

For this special episode, my husband joins me as we read through the entire book of Song of Songs—the Bible’s beautiful collection of love poetry that celebrates devotion, covenant, and the beauty of God’s design for marriage.

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, I hope this reading reminds you that Scripture is rich with beauty, romance, and glimpses of the deep love God has for His people.

So grab your Bible, a cozy blanket, and a cup of coffee or tea, and read along with us. 💛

“Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death…” — Song of Songs 8:6
